Why Santa Clarita Homeowners Choose ES Windows Construction
We provide Es Windows service in Santa Clarita, handling construction, repair, and replacement of everything from fogged glass and sagging sashes to full window replacement during kitchen and bath remodels. Our work is different because we see ES Windows units the way they actually perform in Santa Clarita’s hot, dry summers and daily temperature swings, not just how they look in a brochure. We’re not an authorized ES Windows dealer; we’re an independent remodeler that has installed, repaired, and replaced these windows across Valencia, Stevenson Ranch, Canyon Country, and Saugus for years. If your ES Windows are sticking, leaking, or fogging, call (661) 542-4056 and we’ll walk you through what’s happening before anyone schedules a visit.
Why Trust Elmstead Remodeling Santa Clarita for Your ES Windows Construction?
Most of our techs have handled ES Windows for years, which means they know the quirks before they arrive. The 5000 Series uses block-and-tackle balances that wear out and cause sashes to sag or slam. The 7000 Series has double-glazed units with perimeter seals that can fail and fog. The Garden Window Series has weep gaskets that clog or crack and let water pool on the sill. You don’t want a generalist who figures this out while standing in your living room-hire General Contractor services with real ES Windows experience instead.
Graham Stein, our owner, grew up in Los Angeles and learned construction fundamentals at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending close to two decades working projects across Southern California. His crew has been doing kitchen and bath remodels in Bridgeport near Town Center Drive for years. When we quote ES Windows work in Santa Clarita, we name the specific part, the specific fix, and the written price before any work starts. The price on the paper is the price on the invoice, we put that in writing before the first board goes down.
We also come prepared. Shoe covers at the door, drop cloths on the floors, quiet tools during nap hours if you have young kids, and pet-safe materials where there’s a choice. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing to your windows and how we’re protecting the rest of your home while we do it.

Common ES Windows Construction Problems We Fix in Santa Clarita
- Sagging or sticking sashes in older 5000 Series units. The block-and-tackle balances inside the frame wear out after years of daily use. You’ll notice the window doesn’t stay up when you open it, or it takes real effort to lift. We replace the balances with OEM parts when they’re available, which restores smooth operation without replacing the whole window.
- Fogging between panes in 7000 Series double-glazed units. The perimeter seal around the insulated glass unit fails, letting moisture in. Once that happens, the fog won’t clear on its own. We can replace the sash or the glass unit, depending on the window’s age and condition. On windows over 15 years old, we’ll usually show you the math on replacement instead of repair.
- Cracked corner welds on vinyl frames. Santa Clarita’s daily thermal swings, hot days and cool nights, expand and contract vinyl frames constantly. Over years, that stress can crack the welded corners. We see this most often on southwest-facing windows that get full afternoon sun. Depending on the crack, we can reinforce the frame or replace it.
- Failed weep gaskets on Garden Window models. The gasket that lets moisture drain out of the frame cracks or clogs, and water pools on the sill instead. We replace the gasket, clear the weep channels, and reseal the frame. It’s a small fix that prevents rot and staining if you catch it early.
- Broken or worn locks and weatherstripping. ES Windows locks and weatherstripping wear with use, and when they fail you’ll feel drafts or notice the window doesn’t seal tightly. We stock common replacement hardware locally and can source discontinued parts through our supplier network.
ES Windows Parts & Our Repair-vs-Replace Approach
We use OEM ES Windows parts for sash balances, locks, and weatherstripping whenever they’re available. These are the parts the window was designed around, and they fit correctly. But some original components have been discontinued as ES Windows updated their product lines. In those cases, we specify quality aftermarket seals and hardware that match the original dimensions and performance, and we tell you before we order anything.
Our rule of thumb: frames and hardware get repaired. Glass units on windows over 15 years old, or windows where energy efficiency matters more than the original look, get replaced. If your 7000 Series double-hung has a broken lock, we’ll fix the lock. If the glass is fogged and the window is from 2008, we’ll show you why a new ES Windows 9000 Series unit might be the better long-term investment. You decide, and the written price is yours before we start. Call (661) 542-4056 and we’ll talk through your specific windows.

AfterES Windows Products We Service & Install in Santa Clarita
We work on the full ES Windows lineup that you’ll find in Santa Clarita homes: the 9000 Series, 7000 Series, 5000 Series, and the Garden Window Series. We stock common sash balances, locks, weatherstripping, and weep gaskets for these lines in our local inventory, which means faster turnaround on repairs. For full replacements, we can order new ES Windows units to match or upgrade what you have, including impact-rated configurations for hillside homes that sit in Santa Ana wind corridors.
We Also Service These Brands
Our Santa Clarita remodelers work across a full range of named-brand materials, not just ES Windows, including Es Windows in Chatsworth and surrounding areas. If your kitchen remodel includes KraftMaid cabinets, Cambria or Silestone countertops, and Kohler fixtures alongside new windows, one crew handles it all without finger-pointing between subs.
FAQs – ES Windows Construction Service in Santa Clarita
The block-and-tackle balances inside the frame are worn out. These balances hold the sash in place, and when they fail, the sash either won’t stay up or binds when you try to lift it. We replace the balances with OEM parts, which usually fixes the problem in under an hour per window. Call (661) 542-4056 for a written quote; estimates are free.
Yes, in most cases. The fog is between the glass panes, caused by a failed perimeter seal. We can replace the insulated glass unit (IGU) or the entire sash without touching the frame. If the window is over 15 years old, we’ll also show you the cost difference between IGU replacement and a full new window so you can make an honest comparison. Call (661) 542-4056 and we’ll walk through your options.
They’re prone to pooling water at the sill if the weep gaskets fail, even in a dry climate. Santa Clarita gets occasional heavy winter rains, and when water sits on the sill instead of draining, it stains and eventually damages the frame-similar to what we see with Es Windows repair in Canoga Park. We replace the gasket, clear the weep channels, and reseal the frame. It’s a straightforward fix, and catching it early saves you a bigger repair down the road.
Both. We regularly install ES Windows as part of full kitchen remodels in Santa Clarita, including Garden Window units over the sink and 9000 Series windows that match a new kitchen’s layout and light. We also replace existing windows independent of any remodel. One crew, one schedule, one written price.
If your windows are still under ES Windows’ manufacturer warranty, using independent service shouldn’t void the warranty, but the specifics depend on your window’s age and the warranty terms. We work warranty-safe, using OEM parts where they’re available and documenting every repair. We’ll also tell you honestly if a repair falls outside what the warranty covers before we start.
Here are the price ranges for the ES Windows work we do most often in Santa Clarita:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| ES Windows 7000 Series sash replacement (each) | $1,200 – $2,400 |
| ES Windows frame resealing and gasket replacement | $400 – $900 |
| Window Replacement (per opening, includes ES Windows) | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation (per opening, ES Windows) | $8,000 – $25,000 |
Every quote is written, itemized, and yours before we start work. Call (661) 542-4056 for an exact price on your windows.
Stop opening and closing the window if you can, and call us. A cracked corner weld weakens the frame, and forcing the sash can make the crack worse. We’ll inspect the crack, determine whether the frame can be reinforced or needs replacement, and give you a written price for the fix. Call (661) 542-4056 and we’ll come take a look.
